zoltan speaks

In the course of my investigations (haff kaff) of Mountain Park, formerly on Rte 5 near Holyoke, MA, I found a page of memories and other interesting stuff from Jay Ducharme, a former ride operator who is now a local piano player. I find things like this all the time, but this one has that something extra, possibly due to the aural interests and former employment of the web proprietor -- a page of sounds from Mountain Park's rides. Thrill to two different funhouse soundtracks, and the different recorded tracks one would encounter while passing through the Pirate ride. Or hear the recorded fortunes of Zoltan (mp3 link). You'll also find other mementos of the park on Jay's site, including photos and reminiscences. He was in a good spot to recall, having also been a caretaker at the place for a time as well.
If the park had just hung around a year or two more, they could have been in the PBS documentary. RIP, Mountain Park: 1894-1987.
